Motion-Specific Photos

My intention for this photo (of 3) was to capture this talented individual on the rings. When I set out for my motion specific photos I knew the best place to go was muscle beach in Santa Monica. With hundreds of subjects to choose from I saw him and knew to make him my subject. Surprisingly every time I adjusted the settings to increase shutter speed the photo would not come out as planned so I relied on the Auto setting to give me suggested levels. All three of these photos were really wide shots that I cropped to use the framing element of photography. I used the two palm trees as framing for the subject swinging from the bars. I edited this photo by cropping and adjusting shadows and highlights. I am really proud of this series in particular.
